Boats

Speedboats, airboats, kayaks, jet skis and yachts

Leonida has a swamp, a chain of islands and a bay full of yachts, so boats matter more here than in any earlier GTA. Speedboats, airboats, kayaks and jet skis are all confirmed. Confirmed Confirmed

What you can ride

  • Speedboats. The Shitzu Squalo comes with the Ultimate Edition.
  • Airboats. Built for Grassrivers; see Airboat.
  • Kayaks. The Crest Kayak, shown on Mount Kalaga's rivers.

Confirmed

Boats in the scenery

Screenshots show boats rafted up on a sandbar in the Leonida Keys with jet skis and inflatables, yachts and motorboats at a Vice City dock, and cruise ships in the bay. Trailer 2 opens on Jason fixing leaks in a boat, and Brian Heder runs his smuggling through a boatyard. Confirmed

Wind and water

Edge reports that islands and buildings shelter the water from the wind, so a boat handles differently in a canal than in open water. Reported See Weather and storms.

What is not known

Rockstar has not said where boats are bought or kept, or whether the yachts can be boarded. Unknown What is under the water is on Scuba diving.
